 Peggy Flo’s innovative three part children’s series demonstrates that so much more than a fun and captivating story can be included in the literary experience.

Pulling on her own experiences as a full time investigator, the author weaves a problem that needs solving in to each of her books, all of which are written in rhyme and feature a moral subplot.

Aimed at readers aged four to eight, the series’ creative use of language, engaging characters and captivating illustrations all ensure that Hafro’s adventures will find favour whether as a bedtime story, or at school reading time. With a fourth book Imminently ready for publication young readers will enjoy further adventures in this charming series.

Hafro & The Wicked Leech

Hafro and the Ghostly, Ghastly Rubbish

Hafro And The Drizmal Day

The adventures of Hafro are a series of children's books, created by the author Peggy Flo, introducing woodland creatures who face problem solving experiences. They are cleverly written in rhyme using words to help children hear, identify and use different sounds that distinguish one word from another. Each book contains a meaningful moral helping children to understand what is right and wrong in human behaviour. The first book - Hafro and the Wicked Leech introduces some of the characters for the first time. So beautifully and creatively these characters come to life with the wonderful and imaginative illustrations of Charles Barry.

About the author:

Peggy Flo lives in north Essex and works as a full time investigator.  Writing for five years, she is passionate about encouraging children to read, enjoy books and to delve deep into their imaginations.

When not writing she can be found enjoying the great outdoors (mountain walking and long distance swimming are just two hobbies) or enjoying the company of her two donkeys and three dogs.

 

About the illustrator:

Until recently Charles Barry lived on Ibiza where he pursued his passion for music – playing guitar and singing at music venues.

Previously working as a director at a London-based design company, Charles’ first foray into book illustration found him taking up the challenge of creating Hafro and his friends.
